VENT/AIR-INLET TERMINATION CLEARANCES
The quick reference table below is to be read in conjunction with the numbered notes as indicated in figures of the previous page, and the
Venting Rules and Guidelines in Section 8.4. The instructions detailed in this section are a combination of specific and National Gas Code
restrictions. Ensure the installation clearances are in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSIZ223.1/NFPA 54 in the US, CAN/
CSA B149.1 in Canada, and/or applicable provisions of local building codes; the clearances shown within this manual do not supersede
these codes. Compliance alone does not insure a satisfactory installation as good common sense must also be applied.
WARNING:
failure to follow these instructions may result in fire, property damage, serious injury or death.
